It was unconvincing, it was last-ditch, it was downright exhausting, but crucially for Liverpool, it was victory. They are back on top of the Premier League with their rivals' fixtures about to get significantly tougher.
The performance, it has to be said, wasn't good. But Liverpool won this game thanks to a big call from...
Hold me closer little dancer,
Count the headlights on the highway,
Lay me down in sheets of linen,
You've had a busy day today.
How much did Liverpool need Mo Salah to score that goal? How much did Naby Keita need to come through like that? How much did Jordan Henderson need to grab the reins of this...
Phew. Breathe! Liverpool didn't make it easy for themselves. They haven't in a while, have they? But at this stage of the season, what matters is the result. That final result leads 3-1 in the favour of the Reds, as they beat a brave Southampton at St. Mary's.
Shane Long put Southampton in the lead,...
It was a rather windy day at Anfield, but no wind could have competed against 50000 people exhaling a sigh of relief right at the end as Liverpool secured three points in rather fortuitous circumstances. As they say, it doesn't matter how they come, till they come.
The key observations from the game are as...
Were you worried? Ye of little faith.
Jurgen Klopp left his summer midfield acquisitions on the bench, leading to plenty of pre-match consternation. James Milner started in midfield along with Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum, leaving all of us to wonder what on earth was wrong with Naby Keita, Fabinho and Shaqiri.
Going off of the...
The Premier League title race is going to be decided by fine margins this season, as the battle reaches boiling point.

Both sides are churning out points at rapid rates and the...
With the international break, and the yawn-inducing two weeks without Liverpool Football Club, almost over, the focus shifts back to the title race, and to plausibly Liverpool’s hardest remaining game as they face Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday.
So what are some of the key battles ahead of that critical fixture?
Virgil Van Dijk vs Harry...
With seven games to go in the Premier League, and at most five games to go in the Champions League, Liverpool are reaching the crunch. And when you’re at the crunch, you need your most important players to step up. And one of those players is Roberto Firmino.
Bobby is a player who has gone...
When you look at Liverpool’s success so far this season, one of the key reasons that the team has played consistently well is the lack of injuries to key players. Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold aside, of Liverpool’s main starting XI (or starting X plus one if we’re being fair), nobody has picked up...
There was a moment during Liverpool's ugly, nerve-wracking 2-1 win over Fulham on Sunday that epitomised Mo Salah.
As Scott Parker's Championship-heading side launched a dangerous counter-attack in the second half, with players flooding forward, one individual bust a gut more than anyone: Salah.
Liverpool's No.11 raced back to help out his team, playing his part...
